Problems solved by technology

This creates a burden on the recipient and shipper to follow up on these tracking devices which in the case of pharmaceuticals, for example, have strict government regulations requiring temperature monitoring.
The current method and system for monitoring such conditions is lacking.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Referring to the drawings, there is provided a single use or reusable environment monitoring tag which is generally designated by the numeral 1. The tag 1 is equipped with hardware and software components 2 configured for enabling Near Field Communication (NFC) over about a 10 centimeter (around 4 inches) distance as well as long range high frequency (HF). With NFC, a short-range high frequency wireless communication chip is included which enables the exchange of data between devices equipped with corresponding NFC hardware and software, such as a phone 4 equipped with complementary NFC chip 3 and software, computer 5 including or tethered with a NFC device 6, or scanner or NFC scanner 7. Such devices are preferably operably linked to Internet 8 to immediately transfer data to one or more party who can receive the data.

[0026]The invention can also include an RFID receiver 1A which can be operably connected to the tag 1, for obtaining serial number, lot number and product ID of...

Abstract

A device for monitoring conditions within an environment in which an item is disposed includes a environment monitoring tag operably disposed adjacent an article to sense environment surrounding said article and store environmental data sensed, wherein said tag is equipped with software and hardware to communicate said data using Near Field Communication and a hand held communication device equipped with software and hardware to communicate using Near Field Communication to receive environmental data sensed by said tag and analyze said data.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 12 / 638,457 field Dec. 15, 2009 and further claims the benefit of provisional application 61 / 434,389 filed Jan. 19, 2011.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present device relates to single use or reusable environment monitoring tags. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the invention relates to environment monitoring device disposed with and to sense the internal environment of an article contained in a package including but not limited to temperature, vibration, pressure, radiation, shock, light, position and atmosphere.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Prior devices exist for monitoring conditions within an environment in which an article is contained. For example, such devices typically monitor, record and download the temperature history of package content in transit. Recorded data is currently downloaded with the aid of the party receiving the device shipped with the article. This creates a burden on the recipient ...
